Looks like this warrior-angel trend isn't going anywhere. Josh Duhamel and Samuel Jackson have been cast in a sexy and violent religious film called Sympathy For The Devil. Brace yourself for more of Jackson's wild religious rants and Bible-quoting.

Latino Review is reporting that Duhamel will play Louisiana lawman Harlan Stark and Jackson is taking on the role of his partner, Jesse. The two find themselves trapped in the midst of a heavenly battle, uncovering the plot to kill a local preacher. Boaz Yakin, director of Remember the Titans and producer of Hostel I & II is set to direct this heavenly epic.

Harlan and his loyal partner Jesse (Samuel L. Jackson)stand at the fulcrum between vengeful good and devious evil, with neither side showing anything like mercy.
